WPUNJ Blackboard: Logging on / Username/Password / Possible login problems

Logging On


Get online and point your web browser to Bb Home: http://bb.wpunj.edu
After reviewing the helpful support options available on that page enter your username and passwords in the spaces provided and click the Login button.

When you log on you likely won’t see all your courses listed.  This is because:

  1. courses do not become available until the first day of the semester, and
  2. only those courses that have been activated by the faculty member teaching them will be visible.

Username:
All students and faculty are automatically given systems accounts when they enter the university. Usernames are comprised of the last name, first initial and usually a number. A student named Juana Doe might have the username doej12.  Students can use this link to find their correct username:

https://webapps.wpunj.edu/misc/username_lookup/username_lookup.cfm

A link to the username/password lookup page can also be found at Bb Home, http://bb.wpunj.edu

Password:
The 855 number is the default password for students. Use the username link above to find the 855 number if you don’t remember it.  The interface looks like the illustration to the right.

Students who enrolled prior to Fall 2006 might need to use their SS# as a password -- all nine numbers with no spaces or punctuation.

If you've changed your password and don't recall what it is any longer, or if neither of the passwords described above are working for you, please use the Bb Support Center (see below) to contact us for support.

What can I do if I know my username and password but still can’t log in?

    1. Try going directly to Bb Home at http://bb.wpunj.edu (rather than logging on through the portal).
    2. If you just registered please remember it takes a day for information to reach the Bb database.
    3. Pop-ups: Please check and make sure that you are not running any popup-blocking or JavaScript-blocking software or toolbars. These include such programs as the toolbars from Yahoo, Google, MSN, Optimum Online, et al., along with such security software as McAfee Security Center and others. If you have any such software, or if you have Windows XP and have it updated to Service Pack 2, you will need to either temporarily disable any such popup and/or JavaScript blocking or make sure that wpunj.edu is added to the list of sites that they are allowed for/from.
    4. America Online: There are known problems with the AOL web browser. If you must connect to the Internet using AOL please minimize their browser and use Mozilla Firefox or MS Internet Explorer instead.
